Planned Classes to Teach at UAM

In Spring 2016, I plan to teach Immunology, a three-credit hour undergraduate course that has not been

offered previously at UAM. I expect to teach this course every spring semester of even-numbered years.

Updates and equipment additions to laboratories taught at UAM 2009-2014: I made changes to the genetics lab that I teach (BIOL 3354) to include more molecular

genetics lab work such as plasmid cloning, genomic DNA isolation, DNA fingerprinting, PCR, and DNA

sequencing. 2013: With funds from the Dean of Mathematical and Natural Sciences, I purchased several sets of

micropipettes for use in the molecular genetics portion of genetics lab (BIOL 3354). 2014: Added an additional section of genetics laboratory (BIOL 3354) to accommodate the increased

demand for the course. 2015: With funds from a UAM Faculty Research grant and from the Dean of Mathematical and Natural

Sciences, I purchased a vertical SDS-PAGE and blotting unit to allow students to perform gel

electrophoresis of proteins and Western blotting for protein analysis. 2015: With funds from the Dean of Dean of Mathematical and Natural Sciences, I purchased the

equipment listed below to allow students in genetics laboratory to work more efficiently and to relieve

bottlenecks caused by waits to access equipment:

Additional sets of micropipettes. This will allow each student in the laboratory to have their own

set of micropipettes to use.

Four horizontal gel electrophoresis units. This brings our total number of electrophoresis units to

eight and will eliminate the need for students to wait long in line to load their samples on a gel.

Two additional microcentrifuges. This brings our total number of microcentrifuges to four and will

eliminate the need for students to wait in line to centrifuge their samples.
